I noticed something about the fighters on my P4P list - none of them drink alcohol.

    A few drinks certainly didn't hurt perhaps the greatest middle weight champion,ever-Carlos Monzon.He famously would drink a full bottle of wine the night before his title defense.He was a G.:good

    Pac did drink while he was climbing ranks though. I think he was actually better when he was cheating on his wife, gambling, fighting roosters & drinking. Maybe he should go back to that. The declining pac is beacuse of JINKEE!!! she changed manny.

    Jinkee ruined Manny, and Jin ruined Shane.

    These women deserves to be ranked in the top10.

    Provodnikov/Lara being P4P is a farce just as well as having Danny #5

    Drinking 1 or 2 beers or glasses of wine at a family BBQ once in a while outside of training camp is not going to be detritmental in any way whatsoever imo.

    After a fight if a guy wants to go out and get drunk and party I don't see the problem as long as it's only once or twice. Then they need to get back to work.

    The Klitschkos drinks, maybe not much but they definitely do.
    They comes from countries and cultures where drinking is one fundamental aspect.
    They would socially cut out without drinking at least a little.
    It's like pretending Povetkin, or Fury, or Hatton, not to drink. Impossible. Does not compute.

    Pacquiao drinks, or at least he used to.

    Ideally you'd want an athlete to stay sober, but there's been a surprising amount of boxers who have been known to drink and they are still highly successful.

    That's not to say they couldn't have been even MORE successful if they didn't drink.
